I had a history teacher in high school who actually encouraged us to make cheat sheets for tests. His theory was that in the process of researching answers and transcribing them to paper, what we were actually doing was gasp.................. studying the material! Of all things holy, a guy can't even cheat without learning something! LOL

Same thing happened to me in ornithology in college. Once i interviewed the AM class about what was on the test i ended up learning the material.

My Western Civ history teach in college made it a point to tell us which of his discussion points during the day's ramblings would be on the next test.

A few years later, a fellow named "Dick Bash" (anybody here remember him?) would encourage new ham radio test takers to report which exactquestions were on the exam. Then he published them. Oh, how we all thought he was the devil incarnate. I mean how DARE he?

But wait. Wasn't it a short time later that the FCC published all the questions AND all the correct answers? Uh... yah it was. :)
